Diva Tours and Transportation, Offer this
tour to Punta de Mita.
Three islands
called
Las Tres Marietas.
The
islands are home for amazing collection of tropical
fish, birds, coral and interesting underwater rock
formations. Our guided trip to the islands will
allow you to sample several snorkeling spots known
for their visility and abundance of marine life.
The
largest islands of the chain sitd the farthest
east. Its eastern side
contains the best snorkeling
spots. At one location we swim through a
cave
which leads to a beautiful,
perfectly
secluded
white
sand
beach.
From
here it is a short and slippery hike back to a tide
pool. It is simply fascinating to see
and
hear the water pour in to this rocky holding pen.
This
island is best for viewing the blue footed boobies.
Found along the western coast of Mexico, mainly
around the islands in the Gulf of California and
here in Nayarit, the blue footed boobies are
gull-like seabirds that have pointed bills and
wedge- shaped tails. Their white bellies and dark
brown backs can be spotted diving head first in to
the ocean for fish and squid. The boobies grow to be
32´´ to 34´´ tall.
The
next island of mention is comically referred to as
skull island, because of the cranial shape to its
rock. Along its north coast is a wonderful beach
with an excellent snorkeling spot just off shore.
The water here is very shallow and there are several
underwater rock formations that are riddled with
fish. Here you can expect to see mass quantities
yellow fin surgeons, cortez rainbow wrass,, giant
hawfish, guineafowl puffers, panamic sergeant majors
and king angel fish just to name a few. Ask your
knowledgeable guide for description of these and
other fish that call the Marietas home. The small
cove located just to the left of the beach has many
caves to swim into and on the beach itself you can
actually view cactus growing!!!
